What customers say about the Check-In Deck
Real words from couples, and from professionals who use the cards with their clients.
We are always stoked to use these [cards]! Our scheduled time is Thursdays! 😊
We did our first Check-In and we loved it! Shared the deck! I am sending my business partner your parents/children’s one. He loved the idea.
If you don’t know how to effectively check in or are struggling through the process, @happypartnersproject makes a great deck of cards to streamline the process. This option will provide you with prompts and help you keep it from getting too heated.
“I’m not paid to endorse this company. I’ve personally used them and found them to be helpful. I’ve recommended them to others and they’ve found them helpful as well.”
Love the cards! I use them all the time with clients…
Had my first check-in session last night! It was a decision to buy them, and another to put them to use. There has been good communication even leading up to the first check-in! Highly recommend.

We use Happy Partners Project cards. They are great conversation starters for all stages of the relationship. #notanad
I got us these check-in cards and 10/10 would recommend.
Relationships or single, these cards are amazing…helps shift your lens on what to pay attention to in relationships, with yourself. If you’re single, great tool to build yourself and get better with the ‘dating around’ phase you may be in.
Honestly so good! We take them to therapy with us too!
